The Appeal

The Series 2A is among the most recognisable utility vehicles ever built. Pure, simple, rugged manners have earned it a devoted following, and for many, it's the best of the much-loved lineage. This 1967 short-wheelbase example has been in the current owner's hands for over two decades, having been purchased from a Land Rover specialist in Wandsworth.
It has seen real use in that time, including a memorable drive to the south of France - slow but steady, as the vendor recalls. After a period of storage in a French barn, it has recently been recommissioned with a thorough fuel system flush covering the fuel pump, lines and tank, along with fresh oils and filters, a new battery, and general fettling. The vendor reports it now runs sweetly.

The bodywork carries the honest patina of a well-used working vehicle. The soft-top arrangement offers considerable versatility, with the tilt, sides, door tops and windscreen all removable or adjustable. Ready to be enjoyed as-is or fettled further by its next custodian, this Series 2A is a smashing opportunity.
